If a patient's plate has more cereals and fewer pulses, milk, fruits and vegetables, what will be the main improvement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Increasing the balance among food groups
Cereals are important sources of energy, but a cereal-heavy plate may not provide enough protein, calcium, vitamins, minerals and fibre. Adding suitable amounts of pulses, milk or alternatives, fruits and vegetables improves variety and nutrient balance. The goal is not to remove cereals, but to include all appropriate food groups in suitable proportions.
